Boy Dead After Playing in Common Construction Material – Tragic Final Photo Shows the Substance That Killed Him
The image is an iconic memory of what boys do best — climb into piles of construction materials and glory in playing there.
It is also a tragic reminder of the death of Arthur Emanuel Bitencourt, 7, of Brazil, who earlier this month went on his last adventure and died shortly after.
Bitencourt was photographed in the pile of limestone powder on Aug. 3, according to the New York Post.
Even as he flashed two thumbs up, he was breathing in the dust from the powder that would soon take his life.
